2026 Breeder's Crown Three-Year-Old Eliminations SURVIVOR Handicapping Challenge
Quote from talkinghorse on October 15, 2026, 1:24 PMIt all comes down to the Breeder's Crown!
For this handicapping challenge, it will be a survivor contest. Win a leg, and you advance. Lose, and you're out!
Here we go! Pick TWO horses in each race (I was thinking of three, but that might be too "easy"?).
Win a leg and go on!
So go on! Start posting your picks for this Saturday's eliminations. Entries must be posted before 5:00 PM EDT on Saturday, October 17th.

Thank you, thank you. These last several weeks have been amazing at the races, from Kentucky to PEI. I love these high end achievers. Great competition. Jailbird Jog is the ML longest shot in her elimination at …. 9/2!

Quote from Lonnie on October 16, 2026, 8:09 AMThis is a lot harder than it looks! Especially since these eliminations look so competitive. And trying to figure out who's going to go the extra bit to win rather than just qualify.
I guess the incentive to win is to secure a chance for a better post position in the final maybe enough.
Back to my head scratching and pulling out my hair to figure this out.
I can easily see myself getting eliminated in the first race. Second race max.
How about a secondary "prize" for picking the most winners?

Your wish is my command. Runner-up prize for the person picking the most total winners.
